Nåja, alt dette er kun av perifér interesse, det som interesserer meg, er at det på CV'en til Curlee finnes to, og jeg tror det er kun to, platecovere.
- og det er ikke hvilke som helst covere.
Det første var et bestillingsverk, og dette bildet av Servais Le Roy, en magiker som på begynnelsen av 1900-tallet tryllet fram kort etter kort i hånden.
Var inspirasjonen til dette maleriet.
Som selvfølgelig ble dette coveret
Curlees neste cover fant sin inspirasjon i dette bildet av noen "christmas pageants" som tar seg en røykepause
Dette bildet ble så "morphet" til...
- og det coveret inspirerte så 1984...
